| description | This study was conducted to determine nutrient composition, based on foods, which are
widely available and popular among the people of Kelantan. This study will be very
important in establishing reliable data on the nutrient composition of foods consumed by
the community. Hundred types of foods that are served in Kelantan had been chosen in
this study. Food samples for analysis were purchased from three different places of
production. Macronutrients such as calorie, carbohydrate, moisture, protein, fat and ash
were analyzed using the standard methods of AOAC (1995). The results showed that the
foods analyzed generally high in carbohydrate. Although these foods are high in
carbohydrates, Kelantanese still able to consume them by controlling the amount of food
intake. These results will be used in the estimation of nutrient intake in relation to study
of diet and health relationship for Kelantan population. |
